Agatha Harkness Returns
Debuting in “WandaVision,” Agatha Harkness was a character that was full of deceit and sinister nature, balancing humor with horror.

Acclaimed by critics and viewers alike, the role gave Kathryn Hahn universal acclaim, making this spin-off very near to inevitable.
“Agatha: Coven of Chaos” will further her story and delve more into her origin, her motivation, and the mystic world in which she lives. She is a rich tapestry of possibilities—truly rich. Her life has spanned centuries and is filled with stories and encounters that must have been with other biggies in the Marvel Universe.
Cast and Characters
The series will star Kathryn Hahn among others and new faces, some familiar. Major cast and characters include:
Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu: A 450-year-old witch and a diviner. LuPone being involved implies immersion into ancient magical lore and, more so, the assembly of Agatha’s coven.
Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal: A Green Witch and ex-girlfriend to Agatha. So, an additional character will be added on the show, bringing Agatha’s relationship depth: maybe a rival, maybe an ally.
Joe Locke as a unnamed character: A highly speculated important character in the arc of Agatha; probably a significant role in depicting new magical aspects or threats.
These characters will really put depth and complexity into Agatha’s story, offering new insight into ancient and dark arts.
The chemistry among the cast, couched with their individual prowess, ensures that a powerful ensemble will be able to delve into the myriad facets of the world of magic.
Plot and Themes

Themes that will be returned to are those of power, its corrupting influence, and the cost of wielding magic. It’s likely to have plenty of connections to a larger MCU narrative, even set-up for future conflicts and alliances. The story could go into different time frames, like showing who Agatha was, how she came to be, and her past dealings with other powerful beings. It will keep central the themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the pursuit of knowledge as Agatha navigates through dark desires and the consequences of her actions.
Connection to the MCU—”‘Agatha: Coven of Chaos’ is a crucial edition to Marvel’s Phase 5, building off of ‘WandaVision’ excellence and growing the mystical and supernatural components of the MCU.”.
Such a spin-off would crossover with other Marvel properties, notably the upcoming “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” or even the darker corners of the MCU like “Blade” and “Moon Knight.” The multiverse can be explored with this series since such is a current running theme in MCU.
